They're rebels, scoundrels, and blackguards-dark, dashing men on the wrong side of the law. But for the women who love them, a hint of danger only makes the heart beat faster, in the stunning debut historical romance The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne.
STEALING BEAUTY Dorian Blackwell, the Blackheart of Ben More, is a ruthless villain. Scarred and hard-hearted, Dorian is one of Victorian London's wealthiest, most influential men who will stop at nothing to wreak vengeance on those who've wronged him...and will fight to the death to seize what he wants. The lovely, still innocent widow Farah Leigh Mackenzie is no exception-and soon Dorian whisks the beautiful lass away to his sanctuary in the wild Highlands...
COURTING DESIRE But Farah is no one's puppet. She possesses a powerful secret-one that threatens her very life. When being held captive by Dorian proves to be the only way to keep Farah safe from those who would see her dead, Dorian makes Farah a scandalous proposition: marry him for protection in exchange for using her secret to help him exact revenge on his enemies. But what the Blackheart of Ben More never could have imagined is that Farah has terms of her own, igniting a tempestuous desire that consumes them both. Could it be that the woman he captured is the only one who can touch the black heart he'd long thought dead?

Review An undying youthful love comes to fruition in a sensual, soul-searing story readers won't want to see end. (The Library Journal)Theirs is not a pretty tale, but the path they take through adversity makes the triumph of love deeply satisfying. (Publisher's Weekly)Byrne is an accomplished storyteller who instinctively knows how to grab readers and hold them spellbound. From the first page, the depth of emotion and sexual tension is perfectly matched by strong characters and superb plotting. This marriage-of-convenience love story proves why Byrne is a force in the genre. (Romantic Times Book Reviews)Kerrigan Byrne's The Highwayman is my most recent answer. It's bold, it's brazen, and it's still decidedly modern--the historical romance we've been waiting for. (Fresh Fiction Review)

Exciting and sexy romance story with a dangerous hero and a spunky heroine By Orion It's been a while since I read a good romance, so I was more than ready when this one popped up on my reading list. I was not disappointed. This is a wonderful example of a classic-style romance. The characters are damaged and imperiled, and they have a history. They are thrown together and must rescue each other physically and emotionally. They get carried away in the heat of the moment causing romantic fireworks. Then they have to work out their differences and form a lasting bond.Dorian Blackwell was not always a big rich tough guy. Once he was a young child who got beat up a lot. The highlight of his childhood was his young friend Farrah Leigh, his "fairy", who nursed his hurts and showed him love. The two kids are separated for 17 years and then meet up later by chance. Farrah does not recognize Dorian, who has changed from a sweet boy to a scarred man, but he recognizes her! He immediately marries her, and then refuses to touch her. It's a little confusing, but he is a damaged person and it takes love and determination to make him a lover. Farrah has what it takes to get that job done. She is not shy about making her needs known in the bedroom, and her loving spirit wins the day.There is also a mystery concerning an inheritance and a murder attempt. It concludes in a satisfying way with a happy ending.I am giving this book five stars, not because I believe it is great literature, but because it is true to its nature. This is the kind of romance book that will appeal to fans because it is well written and it has all the right elements and it strikes the right chords. If you love romance books, this is where you will find the satisfaction you crave.
19 of 21 people found the following review helpful. A second chance at love looks almost impossible. By OLT There's enough angst and anguish here to satisfy even the most masochistic of romance readers, yet with enough beautiful love and romance to satisfy the most romantic souls. And the writing is very good. This is not a debut book for Byrne. She has several under her belt, mostly paranormal and romantic suspense, but this seems to be her debut straightforward HR and I'm looking forward to the sequel The Hunter to be released in Feb. 2016.This is a bad boy loves good girl story for the most part, with the bad boy feeling very unredeemable and undeserving of love. It's also a story of revenge, lost love, redemption, the healing power of love, with some steamy sex as icing on the cake.In 1855 Scotland young Dougan Mackenzie, bastard son of a Scottish laird and a bit of a rebel, is living at Applecross Orphanage and spends a lot of time being physically punished and abused by the nuns and priest. Farah Leigh is also an orphan there, placed by her parents' estate manager after their deaths. Farah, a loving and caring girl, befriends Dougan and they become soulmates, even handfast marrying each other. (Mind you, they're children, so this love is very pure.) Until tragedy strikes and Dougan is taken to prison.Fast forward 17 years to 1872 London. Farah is now "widow" Mrs. Farah Mackenzie (after learning that Dougan had died in prison) and works for Scotland Yard. She's virtuous and faithful to her "husband's" memory although she is being wooed by her employer. Enter hero Dorian Blackwell into the picture. He's the Blackheart of Ben More, ex-prisoner (with Dougan Mackenzie before his death) and now all-powerful, super rich crime boss in the East End.Dorian knows all about Farah apparently from his years in prison with Dougan and abducts her to protect her from the very estate manager who had placed her long ago in the Scottish orphanage. So we have Farah being kept safe at Ben More, learning more and more about Dorian and his closest henchmen and their former relationship to Dougan. Dorian is a terribly flawed and troubled man who cannot tolerate even the slightest touch of Farah's fingertips but sparks fly between the two.There's lots of emotional angst, super-strong sexual attraction and many heart-wrenching moments. This is a very good and well-written book and I enjoyed reading it but I couldn't quite see my way to 5 stars because of parts of the plot that seemed perhaps too contrived. For example, it seemed to me almost impossible that Dorian, in such a short amount of time, could become so rich and so powerful, especially since he seems to spend a lot of time brooding at his Scottish estate, Ben More.One more issue I had was with his almost pathological aversion to touch. It was quite severe at first glance and I was sure he'd need several years working with a psychologist or psychiatrist, but it only took a few months with our heroine to fix him up. Granted there's a lot of emotional suffering and angst during this time (in which they even managed to have creative sex) but then, magically, he's OK. And my last issue is with the danger to the heroine. It's not well defined and almost seemed to be a figment of the hero's imagination for the greater part of the book, until the bad guy finally shows up and isn't all that scary.Some things in the book, IMO, don't stand up well to scrutiny, but the romance is really, really touching and really sexy to make up for it. So don't over-analyze this story. Just feel it. It's one of those books you'll have a visceral reaction to, so just go with that. If you're not annoying like me, you'll probably give this 5 stars.
21 of 24 people found the following review helpful. If you're a fan of Elizabeth Hoyt, give this one a try By mickey71 I tend to see romance books in falling in one of two categories: light and fluffy or dark and dangerous. Light romances include a lot of humor, tend to focus on social misunderstandings, and usually don't involve anything too unpleasant. Dark romances include violence; a seedy, criminal element; quite foul language; and very graphic sex scenes. This new series by Kerrigan Byrne falls firmly into my "dark romance" category.Dougan Mackenzie and Farah Townsend meet as children in an orphanage. They bond when Farah is kind to the injured Dougan, and the two become inseparable. Dougan is especially protective of the younger Farah, whom he calls his Fairy. When Dougan is 13 and Farah 10, they perform a "handfast" marriage so no one can ever separate them. But when Dougan kills a man who tries to hurt Farah, he's sent to Newgate Prison.Seventeen years later, Farah (using the name Mrs. Mackenzie) is working for Scotland Yard when Dorian Blackwell, king of the London criminal underworld, is brought in. Dougan died years ago in prison, but Dorian was one of his cellmates. Upon his release, Dorian kidnaps Farah and takes her to his estate, Ben More. He tells her they will be married so he can pay a debt to Dougan by protecting his "Fairy" and helping her reclaim her true identity and inheritance. As her husband, Dorian will become an earl and gain a seat in Parliament. Dorian prefers a marriage in name only; his prison experiences have left him unable to touch or be touched by another person. Farah wants children, though, So somehow, they'll have to navigate an actual marriage.It won't be easy. Both have baggage; Farah still grieves for her lost Dougan, and Dorian fears his own violence and its possible effect on Farah. Has Dorian been far too emotionally damaged to ever tell Farah the truth?To me, this book has a similar tone to Elizabeth Hoyt's "Maiden Lane" series, even though they're set in different time periods. This is the gritty, dirty underworld of Victorian London. You can just imagine the smokey effects of the Industrial Revolution, the docks crawling with pimps and prostitutes and murderers. The setting sets the tone; there are no pristine, pretty drawing rooms or Regency balls.More the an anything, this is book about healing. Two traumatized people have a very long way to go before they will trust anyone, let alone each other. It is NOT a polite romance. Profanity is used liberally, and it seems appropriate for this story in this setting. The only thing clean and untouched in this book is Farah herself...which is exactly why Dorian wants to stay away from her. He's afraid to contaminate Dougan's Fairy with his filth. Farah has a way to go to convince him that she's a person with faults and desires, not a perfect object he'll ruin.The author is definitely not afraid to pull punches with this book! She jumps fearlessly into the prison element, and has the reader rooting for the criminals. That may make some readers uncomfortable. I liked it, enough to add its upcoming sequel, The Hunter, to my must-read list.If you don't like your romances to have super-alpha heroes with a tragic background; profanity; sex scenes that are more graphic than romantic; and violence, this may not be the book for you.NOTE: Review will be cross-posted to Tessa's Books and Tea Room blog.
